zyrtec

Avatar f tn My son is taking Zyrtec for random hives. He has developed a breakout that looks almost like bed bug bites. on his forearms,upper legs and back. Scaley in nature and severe itching. What could be the cause for this?
Avatar f tn There is a puss infection in the middle of the red and i cant imagine that many bug bites without you seeing something. Looks more like a rash or plant poison reaction. If you ran through any grass or such and got pricked they could get infected. Maybe try some 1%cortizone cream with also.
Avatar n tn Could this be some sort of other bug that maybe travels with the bed bug such as dustmites or is there maybe some sort of bug that has similar symptoms and bites?
Avatar f tn I saw my family doctor and was put on 20 mg of predisone for two days, and Zyrtec daily. The symptoms are a little better right after I take it then return. No one else in the house have sensations, one of my children had a bite maybe. But not like the amount I have. I have a get clean house and could not find any evidence of bed bugs, just found a few moths. I am a nurse so I have seen scabies and bed bug bites, and I don't have either of those rashes. Also I have a get bad headache.
Avatar n tn My 33 year old fiance started last week with some small hive/rash (red, itchy bumps - like bug-bites but not) on his left toes. They then spread to his left thigh. Now on his torso and his right arm. Two triggers I can think of: 1) we had a mulch delivery last week and something in there is biting him or 2) he's having a reaction to the fabric softener I picked up (smelly vs hypoallergenic). Our problem is we can't decide if they're hives, bug bites, a rash, or what...
Avatar n tn I got these rashes that look like a bug bites on my thigh Sunday night when I got home from work. It really itched a lot until I took some benadrily and it helped to stop the itching. When I woke up Monday morning and they were still there, there are 4 of them on the right side of my thigh and one big one on the left, all of them just above my knee. They are not itching that bad anymore but it is Monday night and I would figure if they were bug bites that they would be gone by know.
Avatar n tn You could take all of your belongings, including furniture and put them in a box truck such as a Uhaul and let them roaste in the scorching sun with the doors closed for a day. Then, follow the previous advice for the carpet and clean the entire house, paying special attention to the color white, which is an attractant. You could also close the drains and leave containers of warm water with dishwashing liquid in it. Then, see if you can see something.
Avatar m tn The other day I was out golfing and I got stung on the top on my head by either a bee or a wasp, the swelling started but worsend after a nights sleep. Shortly after I noticed two bumps on thr back on my neck. So now I'm wondering, is it normal for bug bites and sting to cause lymp nodes to swell?
440535 tn?1312368065 My 7 month old keeps getting these red bumps, mostly on his face and arms. I assume they are bug bites, but I don't understand how he's getting them. We use bug spray every time we go outside. I just want to make sure its not something else.
Avatar m tn You might want to check for bed bugs. If you havnt heard of them dont worry, it horrible if you have them but that might be what it is. If so then check you mattress and youll see little bugs. If not then could just be a spider bit its that part of the year where everything starts trying to get into the house. If it gets any bigger you might want to see the doc though!!
Avatar m tn Are they getting bigger and is there any discharge? A lot of people mistake skin infections like MRSA for bug bites. So, go see a doctor who can see the bites and determine what course of action is necessary for you.
Avatar n tn We went to the doc and she said she had no idea what they were that they had never seen anything like it but most likely hives. So I have given her zyrtec twice and have been using benadryl cream and they are just getting worse now they are all over her arms too and about 5 on her torso. None on her face or head. Its not bug bites as she keeps getting more not just in bed and no one else has them. She has had nothing new and has not been outside. Does anyone know what this could be.

Avatar f tn shortly after the bites appear I get nauseated and get a headache. The bites start out sorta like a pimple and itch like a mosquito bite but turn into a raised bite with a dark scab (like dried blood) even though they only pus. The skin around the bites on my legs are red and have red lines on the sides (the lines are red and part of the red area)- that's the best way I can describe it. I also have to bites on my foot right next to each other.
Avatar m tn I have bed bug bites on my vagina it hurts so bad I can't wipe when I pee but I can pee perfectly fine, how do I get rid of the bites asap?
Avatar f tn check your washer soap to see if it has any perfumes or gritty surfactants why? because some allergic responses can look just like bug bites. If you are washing the sheets and clothes in a soap that is not hypo-allergenic the baby will spend full contact with it for hours. Since you already know that she has allergies that heightens the chances of a reaction. 3. Is she sweating while sleeping?
Avatar f tn Last night I found a lump on my breast just below the nipple or looked like a normal bug bite and had a slight itch but isnt as annoying as most bug bites I get. I'm allergic to bug bites so sometimes bites become huge. It's been 11 hours since I first noticed the lump and it's definitely bigger this morning than it was last night.
